Posted by Wallyhorse on Thu Mar 1 10:09:02 2018, in response to 7 line extension to New Jersey., posted by Chicago44 on Wed Feb 28 14:48:19 2018. If any line should be extended to New Jersey, it's the (L) for a ton of reasons:1, The line is going straight west at 8th Avenue/14th Street. It can go straight down from there. 2. The cars are much wider and longer than IRT-sized cars. 3. It likely inspires the MTA to have entire Eastern Division have all platforms extended to 600 feet with obviously the (L) platforms extended first (and in most cases, the extension would be only 64 feet since the Eastern Division platforms were built to handle eight-car trains of BMT Standards that were 67 feet in length, or 536 feet total). 4. You have transfers along 14th Street to almost every other line in the city and the (G) at Lorimer. 5. It more easily opens up NYU to a lot of students who live in New Jersey since their main campus is not too far from the (L) as it is. That's why any extension to NJ should be with the (L) and not the (7). |
